Not sure about the EMGs

I inherited a Gr4 a few months ago from my best friend who passed away. The guitar plays great, everything about it is great. The problem I'm having is, the guitar has EMGs, ssh. I have a Sadowsky that had EMG SEe in it. I took them out for the same reason I'm thinking of taking these out. They're very clean, very quiet, loud, but no character. My question is this, is there a passive ssh combination that is great in that guitar ? This is my first Steinberger, so I'm not really up on what other owners favor. My strats, Teles, Gretsch, Les Paul, all have a signature voice to them, the Steinberger just sounds like a loud acoustic. I know it's an individual thing, but I'd appreciate a few suggestions. Thanks, Lou
